IMPROVEMENT IN WASH-STANDS AND T ANKS.

1li/whom itmay concern:

` Beit known that 1,-HENRY1W-OATLIN, of the city Aof Burlington,i n the county of Chittenden and State of Vermont, have'invented a new and useful Improve V'mentin Wash-Stands,'WTater-Clanks, Snc., tobeused on wash-stands, tables, counters, and similar places; and do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description [of the-same, reference i being hadto the accompanying drawings making a part'of this sp'cciiication.

Figure l represents a view of a wash-stand with the tanks placed, the upper tank having the rockers i on the end, the lowerttank having the rocker on the bottom. i

`Figure 2 represents the upper tank detached.

This invention relates to a new` and useful improve'- ment in rotary tanks. i y .Y The object of this invention is touprovide a device for using water on wash-stands, tables, counters, and

'similar places, without `moving tbe ta11ks,`bowls, or

pitchers from the stand, thus avoiding the, risk of breaking the ware, srloppingof water, and rendering its use much more easy and convenient.

i i To enable those skilled in the art to' fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.

A represents a tank. B represents the curved rockers.

' G represents a spout.`

1) reprcsents'the handle. `ll represents the bedor way for the rockers.

, shown and described.

V. F represents the slopftank with the rocker ou the i .bottom B.'

H, guides.

From tli'e foregoing description it will be seen that but little strength is required to turn the tank on the points on `which it moves orA turns. The tank being turned forward by the handle D, the water is discharged into the bowl,[hen`into `thelower tank, whichY v being turned forward, will discharge into'the slop-pail for removal. v Y i v Y When the tank A is' turned ibrward by the handle D, the points on ,which it turns move forward/thusy Aelevating the lower part ofthe tank faster than the spout moves downward, and discharging the contents before .it4 has turned one-quarter of the distance round. Therockers, or the bed on which the rockers move,

' may be curved to give the tank any desired movement. When the handleis let go, the tank returnsto its place', the rockers and bed affording ita safe and easy movementf f Having thus described my invention, Whatl claim as my improvelnent in wash-stands and water-tanks, 85o., isv In tbe construction of the stand with its adjustable shelf with guides H, in combination with the watertank or receptacle C A, its circular support B, handle D, basin G, and slop-receptacle F, all arranged as Y HENRY W.
